Sore loser: Obama and Obamedia accuse McCain of “cheating”
No, really. The Obama camp and its media water-carriers are seriously accusing John McCain of “cheating” in his appearance over the weekend at Rick Warren’s Saddleback church forum because he was in his motorcade when the program started– and then escorted to an empty room without media hook-ups. NBC’s Andrea Mitchell spread the unsubstantiated rumor that somehow McCain heard Obama’s questions while on his drive. The nutroots went, well, nuts. The NYTimes piled on (“Despite Assurances, McCain Wasn’t In a ‘Cone of Silence’“). The McCain camp has protested.
And now we have the spectacle of the Democrat presidential nominee and his press entourage bleating about the “cone of silence” because he didn’t fare as well as his opponent.
Yes, the Obama has just confirmed that it is operating in a cone of abject stupidity. Maybe a little less fun in the sun next time, eh, Barry O?
The event wasn’t even head-to-head. How is the Obama team going to behave should The One wipe out in an official debate this fall? The wah-mbulance will be working overtime.
Oh, and I think we know where the Left is headed again. Remember “Is Bush Wired?”
Predicting a massive run on tin foil from now until November…

More:
Warren told CNN Sunday evening, “we flat out asked him” if he heard any of the questions. The McCain campaign “confirmed that McCain did not hear or see any of the broadcast” in the motorcade or after he arrived, Ross said.
When asked if McCain overheard anything, Charlie Black, a McCain adviser who was with him at the time, told CNN: “We were in motorcade until 5:30 p.m. ET; then a holding room in another building with no TV.”
Warren said, “I trust the integrity of both” candidates, and said he “knew they would abide by the rules.” He joked McCain may not have been in the cone of silence, but “he was in the cone of a Secret Service motorcade”.
Scott Ott: Har. How McCain breached the cone.

I have lived on four continents and lived abroad for more than 12 years. I speak some of at least four languages.
Two of my siblings were born abroad as was one of my children.
I have ONE passport and consider myself an AMERICAN!
In NO aspect is Europe “much better” than America.
Typical elitist snobbery.
LGM..
it’s come out that Barack was feed in advance a few of the questions, as well as what the subject manner is about..
AND.. he had an extra question in advance BECAUSE John McCain was late..
The questions in, uhh, questions where the first couple (3 wisest people you know, ect…) being asked.
even with the benefit of XM radio, John McCain would have heard the questions he KNEW that were going to be asked.
I have to correct you there, luv2rumba.
That should read: “Europe wouldn’t be without the US”.
BHO even ADMITTED to cheating during the forum.. He said “I cheated a bit and looked at the one in advance..”
(i’m banging my head on the desk to remember which question it was)
Barry cheated too..
you little baby, LGM.
this comment section is above you pay grade..
YOUR pay grade.. tempermental kyboard
If you want to know which place is better, look at where people migrate to. not to many migrate out of the USA, but they sure as heck want to come here.
Oh Mistressjustice, you sound a little nervous…perhaps your Annointed One, Barack Obama is starting to feel his limitations?
Here is what you can do…go back to reading/working on your legal briefs and just chill, brcause BO isn’t going to pull it off this November-no matter how many grey hairs he paints on himself…
You’re right, MsJustice, but that’s not what has the Obama camp wringing their hands and complaining after Obama’s dismal Saddleback performance.
If it were only telecast to commenters here you’d could make a larger, base point. The fact is it was taken in by not just the immediate target audience but also by the general public.
Not to mention the media attention. Oops, I just mentioned it!
At any rate, you are right that it’s not us lowly commenters here the Obama campaign are worrying about. However, that’s exactly the point folks are making:
Voters see McCain in new light following Saddleback forum
sonofdy said (#270):
I am not “the left”. I don’t defend everything you think “the left” says, or even everything liberals actually say. I speak only for myself.
McCain broke the deal, which is the definition of cheating. I don’t know whether he got information, and neither do you.
In many sports (cycling, track & field, …), professionals agree to random unannounced out of competition drug testing. They agree to notify officials where they will be at all times so they can be tested. Last year, Michael Rasmussen (Danish bike rider) was kicked out of the Tour de France not for doping, but for not being where said he would be for out of competition testing. We don’t know whether he was doping, but we don’t know he was clean.
It’s the same with McCain.
So you have no proof, just mindless huffpo driven slander. Typical dishonest liberal.
Foo.
Right out of the gate they started making excuses for Odimblubs performance, sad for you Obamanites, truly sad and I’m almost embarrassed for you. The real jewel was the “to tired from being on vacation in Hawaii for a week”… rofl @ all of you attempting to defend your chosen dillweed. Good luck in Nov. you’re going to need it.
of the two candidates..
Barack is the one who has admitted to doing drugs..
still not sure what your point is about the tour de france..
Its simple LGM, even for you. Did he hear the broadcast or not? If he didn’t then whats the big deal? This is simply a lame liberal excuse for the great ones pathetic excuse for a performance.
Grow up and accept he screwed one up.
It was about adoption, Dave, and you are correct – Obama did confess to cheating at least that question. Both campaigns were given some specific questions and a general outline of topics beforehand.
The hilarious thing is that even though Obama confessed to being the one who cheated, he still got his behind publicly handed to him! Great funny irony there!
It’s the same da*ned thing with the libs every time. “If our guy loses, it’s because your guy cheated!!”
They simply cannot compete in the arena of ideas and sound debate.
*yawn*
Zzzzzzzzz……….
One candidate as a young man spent his time stuffing cocaine up his nose, the other spent those years as a war hero in a POW camp. Talk about “compare and contrast”, it’d make one heckuva ad.
Dave C.- Huh? I have an will continue to support your use of various substances and porn. But your habits may have put your crack above my pay grade by distracting you.
LOL. #283. I’m pretty chilled. I’ve stated before, I hope Obama wins, but I won’t be going Hector Lavoe over my balcony if he loses. He has another 25-35 years of politics ahead of him. If McCain continues the Bush policies and our economy continues to tank, and things don’t improve overseas, the Dems will pick a better choice in 2012. I am chilled out, and I expect Obama to win a very close election due to the states he will carry. We’ll see. I don’t think Saddleback matters at all, and I don’t think Obama blew any opportunities.
Purplepeep:
The Rasmussen and Gallup polls showed a virtual tie before Saddleback and a virtual tie afterwards. I haven’t seen any bump in any polls. Moderates and independents will make up their minds after the 3rd debate and the various smear campaigns. It’s still early double P. You’ve been around, and you gotta agree that nobody will remember the very uneventful, Saturday, August 16th, 2008 a month from now.
Maybe we should just throw out some whoppers to even things out.
(Obama stopped by his old dealers house over on the islands and was stoned during the forum)
has he denied it? no!
see, it must be true, Odopey was to stoned to form any reasonable answers.
or maybe his Grammy made him some old fashioned brownies , you know the ones with the green inside he used to love so much…..
ridicules, yes, same as the bullcrap you guys are throwing out there.
Turns out both of them got a heads up. Sorry LGM, your arguments are blown away.
Is there any evidence that McCain had any knowledge of what questions were to asked?
No hyperventilating, weed-, mushroom- and any other mind-enhancing divination.
Troofers need not respond.
Remember, McCain has real-world experience, roughly 50 years of it, and has very likely encountered and analyzed many questions during thoose 50 years.
BHO has been living in Academia, a very severely politically-controlled area (Cook County), and a very nice neighborhood in Chicago that he could not afford without lots of help.
But there is a report (via Ace) where Warren admits giving BHO, but not McCain (he wasn’t there at the time), the first question.
Let the confessions begin ……
mj,
it’s only Monday the polls havent even caught up yet and yes, people will remember… imho of course.
Moreover, no amount of “huff ‘n puff” will change the fact that Barry O was in the cone of stammering stupidity.
edelweiss:
snort!!!! Essentially you’re saying, “I’m a European, so I am right!!!
Laughably inane!
You won’t last long here at MM, making unsupported assertions such as that.
So: geddouddaheah!
MsJustice, it’s the seemingly little things that get ya. Like Ford “freeing” Poland in the 76 debates and Dukakis’ Obamaesque response to a rape-death penalty question in 88. It’s the “drip, drip, drip”. Not refering to Obama with that
I wouldn’t depend too much on polls though they sometimes give a good idea of a general trend. The tendency/temptation is for folks is to believe whatever poll confirms their take at any given time. If you can develope a non-partisan “gut-feeling” of the electorate, that’s just as helpful.
Another area where this was a success for McCain is in framing. Obama is being framed as a clueless celebrity who gives “nothing” speeches. The other night he fit that framing perfectly.
I think the most telling thing on this, (and probably the best commentary) is while Republicans pretty much agree that McCain looked great and pounded Obama witless, the Democrats aren’t making that argument for Obama.( At least outside of the Spin Room area.)
They know Obama was outclassed and are looking for explanations of how this could possibly have happened(?!?!!). That is, instead of just taking the lumps and saying “we’ll get ya later”.
I don’t know if Obama’s poor performance was a surprise to his camp or not. But I would be surprised if they’re happy with it and are not doing some tinkering with his Q&A handling.
I agree the head2head debates will be very telling unless they both go into with “damage control” as their goal, just trying to avoid saying anything wrong. I’m thinking lively debates would be to McCain’s advantage and dull lets-get-this-over-with ones to Obama’s.
The “X” factor is always looming, too. Russia, Iran, who knows what will occur in the next few months? Events that neither candidate have control over can become driving and deciding factors.
But for now, McCain supporters can feel bouyed by his good showing. That’s good enough for now.
You make it sound so clinical and palatable. Try this on for size:
On this, I’d look at maybe even the weekend for solid polling data on the impact or lack thereof. I do expect an uptick for McCain, though.
I want to apologize for all the childish things I’ve said on this board.
Over the last two weeks, it’s become apparent we cannot afford Obama.
DaveC said (#289):
Athletes agree to measures to assure they’re clean. If they break the rules, they’re assumed dirty.
We should hold Presidential candidates at least to the standard we hold athletes — play by the rules or get the boot. McCain broke a rule designed to make sure he was clean. He came late. He had the opportunity to cheat. He should have some consequences.
sonofdy said (#290):
To repeat (please quote in full or not at all), I don’t know whether he listened. Maybe his aide listened and gave him a heads up. He hasn’t actually denied that, though he denied listening himself. He did give himself the opportunity to listen, contrary to his agreement, which is cheating, if not listening.
LGM = Loser Getting Mad
Over at DebbieSchlussel.com, the great and depressing Debbie S. may have thrown a very cold and wet blanket on the fun we’ve been having with SaddleBack. Go to her site to check it out. Here is the intro:
Obama’s team is using the “McCain cheated” line to take the focus off of the fact that Barry did so poorly. Barry sounded like a stammering idiot with no moral center who either didn’t have or was unwilling to honestly express his opinions on major moral issues.
His campaign is doing the same thing that they do with every problem that Obama faces, they are doing their best to change the subject. They redirected the discussion about the “celebrity” commercial to one about Paris & whatshername, questioning his policies becomes questioning his patriotism, etc…
And it’s working. Now everyone is talking about how well McCain did and if he cheated or not instead of talking about how poorly Barry did.
29Victor said (#308):
Wrong. Only conservative blogs and Fox seem to be interested in this at all. Obama has moved on to actual issues. How rich is rich? Was it a good idea to invade Iraq? Should we honor the government of Iraq’s request to set a timetable to leave? Who has the best economic plan?
These are the issues that are good for Obama. Discussing the cheating issue is Republican strategy.
I guess that means that none of the issues discussed at Saddleback were actually issues. How rich is that?
It only gets better from here people. I have witnessed a lot of elections heard many a pol called stupid but this election takes the cake. This guy. Zero, has no common sense, if he ever had any it was driven out on Sunday mornings. He is the perfect candidate for the libtards, they only see what they want to see and with him theres nothing to see so it leaves them free to make things up. Hes a liar calling others liars. Hes an ingrate that after smoking dope through high school went to an Ivy league short bus school. Hes a black supremacist that’s what BLT is, no not the sammich, the ideology. Good gosh I feel like I am living an episode of the Twilight zone whenever I hear him speak. Well at least after he loses he will still have stupid to fall back on its either that or dicktater of some third world cesspool. I will gladly pay his moving costs when he decides to leave.
lgm said:
Not true lgm, I found a slanted piece on this issue at the KOS right here.
Like most of what has happened with Obama the “McCain cheated…” idea has backfired.
The DNC Convention maybe more fun to watch than the Olympics!
Quick…send Barack Hussein the number to 1-800-WHAAAAAAAAA
I find that absolutely astounding. I agree with most everyone who says that it is the difference between a man who knows what he believes and a young politician trying to sound authentic without committing to anything.
So, I guess none of you have noticed the responses from the McCain camp that flat out say he wasn’t in a “cone of silence”. The explanation of where he was and what he had access to is totally parsed:
Question: Did McCain overhear anything?
Answer: “We were in motorcade until 5:30 p.m. ET; then a holding room in another building with no TV.”
Why not just say “no”? He was in the freaking car at least 30 mins into Obama’s turn and you can’t handle the rumor/suggestion that they turned the TV/radio on?
Whatever he did or didn’t hear, he was definitely not in the “cone of silence” Pastor Warren promised us about.
Both sides parse words like this and I recognize the parsing no matter who is doing it. Can I ask you all to read it again, pretend Obama is the one defending his actions and tell me how you’d react to the answers that McCain offered.
The way they answered the question makes it pretty obvious to me McCain had access to some of the questions beforehand. This has nothing to do with who I think “won” this event. It has everything to do with the lame excuse of an answer McCain’s camp is giving…
I was in Reno, NV yesterday (and NO, I wasn’t at Odumbo’s “townhall” meeting), and on the way back to Kalifornia, I heard on the news that someone had made a rude comment about McCain’s POW experience. At least Odumbo came to McCain’s defense. But the fact that this sort of comment is made by his supporters, is absurd at best:
“He was the fattest prisoner that got off the plane.”
Here’s the link:
What a classy crowd he hangs around with, no?
LGM.. in posts 171, 193,198, you are crying and moaning about how John McCain ‘cheated’ in the forum.. not even a debate..
and now..
You’ve been discussing the cheating angle and pushing until you hit a wall (both candidates been given a few questions and subject areas in advance, Barry even admitted to looking at another question before the forum)
NOW you are ‘moving on to important issues..’
FAIL, lgm..
Got here late, and there is just no way i can take the time to read what is at this point all 317 comments, so please forgive something if it has been previously stated, but ARE THEY KIDDING???
This is Liberals projecting at it’s very finest. No way could Mc Cain POSSIBLY know what he is talking about, let alone could he possibly have actual convictions and beliefs that such questions could actually touch on. Noooooo…that couldn’t possibly be it.
This shows me that the only way that the Dems could ever have such a good noght would be if they did cheat, thus they feel that McCain MUST have cheated. This is just sick and pathetic.
I can see how the Liberals, especially those fruit loops over at Kos could start this type of rhettoric, but for the Golden Calf’s own campaign to not only partake in such a thing, but to actually have started it…well they are not even worthy of an elementary school Student Council Election, let alone the election for the most powerful person in the world.
You Liberals are just pathetic, and are all worthy of the glass navels you all need in order to see where it is you are going, what with your heads so far up there and all.
How can Obama defend his embarrassingly awful performance at Saddleback?
But not to worry, we’ll call another WAHHHHm-bulance for him. He’ll have to tend to his own self-inflicted foot wounds, though, the poor lad.
Cheers!
Lets cut to the chase here lefties, Barack “Osama” is a skunk attempting to spray McCain with his stench. McCain is perhaps the most good hearted American I have ever seen and sometimes it really bothers me. McCain is a time tested and proven MAN. Barack is a good for nothing skunk he is the stereotypical black supremacist and Barack has the unmitigated nerve to call McCain a cheater? Unbelievable, a Navy man is disgusted with cheaters we would sooner toss them off the fantail than tolerate them. I wont hold back any longer, what you think I had given all I had already, not hardly I’m just warming up. These lefties lit a fire under my Arse and I am getting going. There will be no holding back from here on out. That is the last straw for me.
All I can say is that the RNC and the McCain camp now have a new full hour of gaffes to draw from for upcoming election ads.
Just way too much content to go to waste, don’t you think?
I hate to condradict you, BALast, but it’s more like 15 minutes of Obama gaffes – after all his ummm….uhhhh…and ….errrs are edited out.
So dealing with Orange County traffic constitutes a breaking of the rules, of cheating? Ever take the 5 Freeway during the day? It’s bad even on the weekend.
I like intelligent debate. This is dumb.
Well, I could easily do a 15 second ad using just the umm, uhh, errs alone.
That just about says it all for this candidate!
Put air in your tires get a tune up, hey, Mr. Neibel taught us that in auto shop, you know, back in high school. Don’t take your kid to the emergency room for treatable illnesses such as asthma give them a breathalyzer, err, inhalator, err inhaler, yeah that’s it inhaler. I thought his angry bitch of a wife worked in a hospital. Err, I suppose “work” has a different meaning in the Barack family as in you do the work we will spend the money. Look, I know the lefties will attack me if I call Barack a skunk so I won’t call him a skunk.
If you are looking for intelligent debate while tapping a leftard on the shoulder, well, you might be a…
I understand that confronting barack and his minions will put any website on edge. I really appreciate MM and the guts to print the truth even if it is ugly, offensive, down right disgusting. Don’t think a number of us don’t appreciate your cutting edge format. It is the format of the future if we are going to have one. A big thumbs up for MM and all her contributors.
TGUSA…
Just keep your fingers crossed. If we get Odumbo as president, he will sign the “fairness” doctrine and it will spill over to the Internet if he has it his way.
Well I don’t know about you but I have no problem putting my life on the line for the Bill of Rights. The question is, are they willing to go all the way?
Yes, since it’s such a petty issue (a favorite of liberals/Democrats in general) and if we get a Dem Pres and Congress, they’ll make sure to do so.
Mistressjustice the Democrats are in a state of Deevolution…they keep picking a loser of lower and lower stature with each election since the ’60s…I mean you really believe Obama to be able to hold a candle to the likes of Truman??..the only reason Clinton got in was by accident.
If Bend Over wins it will be only because of McCain’s foolish political choices, particularly in terms of VP pick.
Enjoy your evening
I happened to catch a few minutes of Keith Olbermann tonight (I watch MSNBC from time to time – I likes me some comedy sometimes). He ended his show with a, I think, 15 minute, nonstop, foaming at the mouth rant on John McCain.
Wow, Keith must feel the need to make up for Obama’s poor performance this weekend. It was pretty funny – here he was, giving a completely one-sided trashing of McCain while complaining that McCain accused MSNBC of being partisan.
It was like Obama saying he doesn’t know when a fetus becomes human, so let’s kill them all… Oh, and his favorite Scripture talks about how we treat “the least of these”.
/boggle
I know that its a different thread, but I never thought about Olberman as Obama’s VP!
I’d say ‘72 with McGovern, Rumba, was the start of their downfall. The Dems just don’t produce substanstive Pres candidates after that. Now they’re down to offering a “community activist” at their ticket-top. They have become “gravitas-free”.
Well BlameAmericaLast we are all right here waitin, what was it that the pres said, oh yeah, bring it on.
If anyone thinks this economy is in the tank in spite of unprecedented democrat high prices at the pump God hep em when the economy really is in the tank as it has been in the past. If this is a tank, someone give me a mai tai and a blow up raft.
Whats with all these former sports/tv talking head morons? Somebody pile drive em fast.
You got to hand it to Alan Greenspan. It was a pretty brave thing to do when he married the world’s most ugliest transsexual.
Purplepeep I meant after the ’60s, with LBJ being the borderline start of the current parade of Democrat-type presidential hopefuls.
you are correct.
I wonder how many times a day the Obamatrons bow prostrate in the direction of Chicago (in honor of their Annointed One)…
Tgusa…so as to avoid any awkwardness, you shouldn’t say cheater and McCain in the same sentence. Also, try to avoid any sentences that use “first wife” and “McCain” together. For the sake of the campaign. Don’t remind anyone.
Keith Olberman is the epitome of all that is Liberalism and all it aspires to be. he is an enormous hypocrite who complains about the things O’Reilly does, while all the while outdoing Bill in ways no one could imagine. He is full of anger and hate, and his little Hitler stunt proved to the world what a racist, bigotted creep he really is. He is nothing if not a conspiracy laden troll who makes his money raving about his betters.
As for MSNBC not being a shill for the Democrats and being non=partisan…well if you actually ever believed that, I have a house at the North Pole that is infested with tiny poity eared guys who enjoy slaving away over toys and other such things for some fat guy with a fetish for red clothes that I would like to show you. All one need do is look at who works their and their resume`s to see just what side the entire network is playing for. Yet those that are so engrosssed in watching that channel and Olberman will carry on and on about how Fox News is a shill for the Right etc.
I just want to know why it has taken Mccain’s organization so long to actually say something about how NBC and it’s affiliates have been shilling for The Golden Calf. After all, the rest of the planet has known all along that the MSM have not just been shilling for him, but in fact, made sure that he was appointed the Dem candidate and will do anything within their power to make sure that he gets elected.
When is McCain and his group finally going to take off the gloves and realize that if they want McCain to actually win, they need to turn this into the street fight that it needs to be. As long as they play the Liberal’s game, they don’t have a snowball’s chance in Hell of winning the election.
The Golden Calf, by his actions, his words and deeds as wwell as his associates, have gift wrapped McCain’s election campaign for him. It is far past time for McCain to open that present, and to stop spitting on the very people he needs to vote for him in just under 3 months. time is running out. Enough of all this lovey-dovey crap. If you can’t stand up to the Golden Calf, then all the “He’s the only one ready to lead,” crap in the world won’t mean spit, as ignoring all the above and allowing the Left to get away with it only demonstrates more than anything else, that he is NOT ready to lead.
Good gawd do you people even listen to yourselves?
Question for all of you idiots who keep using the “cone of silence” argument talking point.
How was McCain supposed to get there without entering into the “cone of silence” at some point?
Get over yourselves already. He did not cheat. Did McCain need coaching on the first question? Good gawd, your zero Obummer wants to consult mommy and Michelle mommy. Do you think it much of a stretch McCain clobbered your zero Obummer on the life begins at question. I guess McCain’s pay grade was BALLS AND A SPINE.
Did you not read? Are you incapable of understanding the English language? They BOTH had access to some of the questions beforehand. That has been freaking established in an interview with the REv. following the event.
Now whose fault is it if The Goldne Calf can’t even answer a question that he had previous knowledge of? Is that not proof of what an idiot without any of his own personal convictions? Is it not proof of how he is incapable of answering a question based on his own beliefs and not those of some 300 avisers?
No wonder The Golden Calf’s supporters are wanting to vote for him…they are all of the same mentality and IQ levels. After all…they do say “Misery loves company”.

Purplepeep’s
or any of lgm’s desperate attempts at grasping at straws to defend Obambi and call McCain a cheater and a liar.
All of them are howlers, but lgm is consistently hilarious!
AJ,
Your link didn’t work.
In defense of the nutroots, that mysterious bulge they saw on Bush was a backbone. I’m not surprised they wouldn’t recognize it.
its there just not on front page, you have to scroll through the lead stories now…. his pic is up after the hurricane story.
Instead of hurling insults, perhaps you should take the time to read my comment more carefully. My comment has to do with the McCain response, which isn’t a blanket “no, we did not hear any questions while the Obama portion of the event was taking place.” That’s all McCain had to say. But instead, he parses words, saying “we had no live broadcast” or some other generic phrase that does not rule out anything. My comment has nothing to do with the fact that some questions were made available to the candidates before hand. But nice try at deflecting my point (as did everyone who responded to me….figures). Actually responding to my point would force you to admit McCain is parsing. Whatever.
Conspiracy crap is conspiracy crap, no matter what syle you wrap it in, it is still just paranoia.
Who defines what is paranoia though? I feel I’m making a legitimate point, but no one here will address it. Sadly, that reaction only bolsters my belief. I’m open minded here…but I’m new to this site and I guess I’m realizing if you don’t agree with everyone else’s perspective, it’s difficult to have an actual conversation. I’ll keep trying…
LGM
ONE sentence, A (as in single newsperson)?
Come on, LGM! Rush had playback of almost 10 different journalists talking about the “cone of silence.”
The liberal MSM is scrambling to defend Obama because let’s face it: He lost this round, okay?
They propped him up into something he isn’t and now that the REAL Obama is showing himself, now they must come to the rescue!
The reason why Obama isn’t making it an excuse is so he doesn’t further discredit himself. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was told to keep his mouth shut so the media can do all the defending for him.
Yeah, and then what? You’d just say you wouldn’t believe him, then or talk about some other republican scandal. You’d never say “how nice of the republicans to do that.”
LGM, who’s blaming Obama? We’re talking about the media here.
So what if he did? Is Barack Obama, the guy you AND the media have been defending for months now, Mr. Tough who’s gonna meet with all the foreign dictators, really going to scream that McCain may have had a slight advantage?
What do you think will happen when he goes to Caracas or Tehran? Do you think they’ll level the playing field for him, lgm?
All your whimpering proves is that Barack Obama isn’t fit to be in any sort of role in the government, and it’s mainly his skin color and age and looks that driving the show.
Howard Dean, you can quote me on that.

Of course! He may have had an slight advantage over the great Barack! We can’t have that! Barack has been oppressed his whole life because of his inner city roots and dark skin! Whoop-de -doo! We must use government intervention and more tax money to punish McCain even though the Constitution says :
Innocent until proven guilty!
And you just said, LGM, “we don’t know!”
But in this post, you assume that McCain did listen in, just like you said he had a TV.
Do you know that for sure as well?
No, you don’t!
Typical liberal bias, on a conservative blog of all places.
